So Spoke He

I hear the roar of Eden’s shore
Shallow echoes of years before
Muffled in time the outer rind
All in the hollow of my mind

A different age a different page
A time of gage, a time of rage.
There was no mend there was no bend
There only seemed to be an end.

I raped the fair of Eden’s lair
Used the garden without a care.
I did her shame refused the blame
And never once gave thought to aim.

A garden lost now sparse and thin
I soiled the very core within
And now I have no peace of mind
For death now stands just right behind.

It speaks to me in fettered word
My dear you’ve killed the mocking bird.

Sy
I see you're still writing great poetry. Even though you're a heathen I still like you anyway!
Do these verses mean you're the Devil?

Well, see now, you've done it again. Here I was, ready to write this day away, and you've just plumb taken all the words from my head, and laid them here in bled of read...

so if you steal my words, at least I have yours...

hugs...K

Not the devil--but Mankind ... and our abuse of nature ... our depletion of her resources ... thats how I read this powerful and very very cool wisdom's write.

Any Stinky...the impact of that closing couplet...is classic Sy-poetry...and the reason we come back for more...the reason we learn from your rhymes divine.

Ethome,
Yes both spiritually and physically. Have we not ravaged our garden of Eden? Thank you Ethome you are a good friend.

Sunshine, You just keep shining.

JM,
Yes mankind with all our abuses, ever to each other. That's why you are so precious to me my butterfly. You help me fly above the menace of the genisis.

Sey, so correct you are....the abuse of the world......yes.  Again your words just rule!!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
